PseDH is strictly stereospecific for the other diastereomers, (S,S)-(+)-pseudoephedrine and (S,R)-(+)-ephedrine. Conversion of all ephedrine isomers required the addition of NAD+ as an oxidant. Without a surplus oxidant or in the presence of NADP+, cell lysates do not significantly convert (pseudo)ephedrine

phenylacetylcarbinol + NADH + H+
PseDH overcomes the stability of the conjugated molecule PPD by reducing it to alpha-hydroxyketone (S)-PAC. Phenylacetylcarbinol (PAC) cannot be oxidized by these dehydrogenases and possibly undergoes a cleavage reaction to yield benzaldehyde and acetaldehyde
